Patterns, Process, and Architecture Reading List

I have been reading a lot of technical books recently. So much so, that I recently designed a new software architecture application based on the book I’m reading, Pro .NET 2.0 Code and Design Standards in C#. Another book I was reading, but somehow lost is Learning WCF: A Hands-on Guide.

I picked the following books because they are already on the bookshelves behind my desk. There are hundreds of books on these bookshelves, but these particular books stood out to be because they are about patterns, process, and architecture. My goal will be to read at least one of these book per week.

Here’s my list of books to read in the near future:

• Martin Fowler – “Refactoring”
• Web Services Architecture and Its Specifications: Essentials for Understanding WS
• Application Architecture for .NET: Designing Applications and Services

If I had any books on Silverlight or better books on WPF, I would probably add those to the list. For those that are connected to me on LinkedIn, you can look at my Reading List to see what else I have read.

Reading technical books like these is one of my favorite and fastest ways to learn new technologies. I encourage those who want to learn, to find a book on a topic you are interested in and just start reading.
